Hi
If you let them sort it out ... it works fast and easy on their gear. If you try to do it, it takes two to four times as long for them to hog out. Guess which one costs you more in the end?

My thinking is that I would prefer to control the layout so that I can work out the assembly process that we do in-house. Test points, tabs that may have to be filed down, areas for supports, and other features.
Is it more common for designers to just let the PCB house do whatever they do? I feel like it would be slow to work through if I have a fairly long list of rules and regulations for them to follow. To be clear, all of my current designs are odd shapes and very close proximity to other parts. They need partial routing, mouse bites, and v-score on the same panel. The mouse bites need to be setup so that no material is outside of the outline.
Do you suppose I should ask the 'professionals' to do it based on my wish list?
Why not just export a dxf, arrange the PCBs in cad and send the fab house your drawing of what you want? You're buying the whole panel, so they should be able to give you something close to your layout barring technical reasons.
Some stuff is better left to the vendor. I go through this in a different process and they accommodate me nicely.

Will Autodesk continue to make a Linux version of Eagle? Linux is my only operating system, so I would have to change to a different program if the Linux version were discontinued.

Matt should have just been honest and said it's going cloud and subscription based.
@Dave, it's not going subscription. So there. At this stage, that isn't anywhere on my roadmap.
Will Autodesk continue to make a Linux version of Eagle? Linux is my only operating system, so I would have to change to a different program if the Linux version were discontinued.I feel that the number of potential customers that are Linux only is very , very small (guessing). I use many OS's and would hate to only have one.

I use many OS's and would hate to only have one.A while ago a poll on this forum showed that 30% of the visitors uses Linux as their primary OS and another 30% uses both Linux and Windows. For common people Linux may not be interesting but for engineers it is a very useful OS. There is a good reason companies like Xilinx make sure their environments also work on Linux!
I am not bashing Linux at all, I just think its very limiting to ONLY have Linux.

In any case, I am still hoping for an affirmative yes or no to the Linux version question of Eagle-thank you.
I suggest you read this very thread.

There is Linux on the road map, and it was stated that Eagle is developed on Linux I believe.
Meanwhile, while you are waiting, check the Eagle import into KiCad and you can likely run both.
That covers you against any "Corporate Shifts" at Autodesk - if licenses worry you, choose the path with no license.
What bugs me about Eagle is that instead of right-clicking on a part and then choosing "move" or something, you have to choose "move" first and then click on the part. Unintuitive, but again, in the end, the boards work, and that's the main thing.

Eagle runs on Linux. It IS indeed developed on Linux. We do the various OS's all natively. So it's not an emulation environment or something like wine or the like.

The reason that Eagle works like this, is because it works faster. You select the tool once, and than you can work with that tool
on multiple objects without the need to right-click every time. Once you get used to that, it's a real time saver.
Dave said in the video that someone from Autodesk (Matt?) would be on this forum, so I am hoping for an answer from Autodesk to the Linux version question. I have a lot of custom parts that I have designed in a library, in fact I am just starting another one, and it would be good to know as soon as possible before I have to redo all of them in KiCAD or whatever.
I did not mean to start an OS war by saying that I use only Linux-honestly. Here is my story: nine years ago, I wanted to pay my electricity bill and started up my Windows computer. The hard disk had crashed and I ended up having to install a new hard disk and reinstall Windows. I inserted the CD and reinstalled, but it would not let me login, saying that the hard disk had changed and that registration had failed (This was a Windows CD that I had bought from Bestbuy). I was getting worried that I cold lose electricity if I don't pay the bill, and I had a Linux Format magazine lying around with an Ubuntu 7.04 CD. I was able to install Ubuntu, get on the Internet and pay the bill within an hour. I staid with Ubuntu and over time, replaced all of my Windows programs with Linux programs. For me, it's about a guarantee that I can use my computer and that somebody is not going to disable my computer for whatever reason-that's all.
In any case, I am still hoping for an affirmative yes or no to the Linux version question of Eagle-thank you.
